It's been awhile

Hey all,

I haven't been on this website in awhile and kind of lost touch about the car audio industry. I currently bought a 2018 Camry SE. I had a system in my Nissan Altima that I took out which is the JL Audio 13w7 in a ported box tuned to 31 and a JL Audio 500/1v2 amp.

I don't have any wires, aftermarket batteries or door speaker yet. I'm leaning toward SQ and enjoyable to ride around in. My thing is I've been out the game for a long long time and have no idea what's good out there.

I need a battery, are yellow tops still a thing? Of course some high quality wires and door components with tweeters.

idk about batteries, im pushing 1 12" RE SE off a 600 watt Fosgate, stock bat, no problems here.  i bought a 4g Kicker wiring kit off Amazon, really like it.

Optima batteries are junk nowadays. I'd look into Interstate from Costco. Typically cheaper than those batteries sold at auto parts stores.

Duracell Platinum AGMs from Sams Club are the best value for AGMs these days. Even with the little bit they add on if you aren't a member.
